The power industry is currently actively developing the field related to the use of distributed generation plants located near the power receiving devices of consumers. At the same time, the introduction of distributed generation plants causes a lot of engineering problems which need solutions. One of them is the optimization of the settings of automatic voltage regulators (AVR) and speed regulators (ASR) of synchronous generators in all possible operating modes. This requires the use of complex models of power supply systems, distributed generation plants and their regulators, as well as labor-intensive calculations that take into account a large number of interrelated parameters. However, there is another approach based on the use of predictive controllers. In this case only one parameter is needed for linear predictive models.The article describes a method for constructing and tuning the proposed predictive ASR synchronous generator, as well as computer models of distributed generation plants used in research. The purpose of the research was to determine cyber security of power supply systems equipped with various distributed generation plants with predictive speed controllers that can be implemented on the basis of the microprocessor technology. The studies were carried out in the MATLAB system using the Simulink and SymPowerSystems simulation packages on computer models of distributed generation plants with one turbine generator operating at a dedicated load, as well as a group of hydrogenerators connected to a high-power electric power system. The simulation results showed the effectiveness of the proposed predictive control algorithms, as well as the fact that their cyber security can be increased by introducing hardware restrictions on the range of changes in the time constant of the predictive link.

Development and operation of modern power supply systems of consumers which are the part of distributed generation (DG) systems with their communication with electric power system (EPS) and renewable energy sources (RES) demand changes in estimation of their reliability indicators on the basis of corresponding mathematical apparatus. It is shown that DG systems refer to structures with several overlapping zones of action, which determines their peculiarities, which are represented by some integral characteristic - efficiency of operation, which characterizes the degree of expediency of use of the DG system in different modes. The approach based on evaluation of effectiveness of such systems is offered. Examples of calculation of relatively simple structures of DG systems performing several tasks simultaneously are given.

The results of theoretical and experimental studies on the problems of effective application of shunt active filters for power quality improvement and electromagnetic compatibility ensuring were presented in this article. Based on the different theories and methods, the most effective and well-studied control algorithms of shunt active filters were determined and analyzed to ensure their effective application in distributed generation systems and combined power supply systems. Mathematical and computer simulation models of shunt active filters with different control algorithms in distributed generation systems and combined power supply systems were developed. According to the results of mathematical modeling and computer simulation, the dependences were detected, reflecting the influences of internal and external parameters on the factors, determining the efficiency of the correction of power quality indicators. The range of permissible changes in the parameters of shunt active filters by saving the required efficiency level of power quality correction was detected under varied power supply system characteristics, load parameters and also in hybrid structures. The adaptive algorithm of the shunt active filter functioning under varied application conditions for automated power quality improvement is developed on the basis

This article discusses the work that resulted in the development of two battery-powered self-propelled electric mining machines intended for operation in the conditions of a Polish copper ore mine. Currently, the global mining industry is seeing a growing interest in battery-powered electric machines, which are replacing solutions powered by internal combustion engines. The cooperation of Mine Master, Łukasiewicz Research Network—Institute of Innovative Technologies EMAG and AGH University of Science and Technology allowed carrying out a number of works that resulted in the production of two completely new machines. In order to develop the requirements and assumptions for the designed battery-powered propulsion systems, underground tests of the existing combustion machines were carried out. Based on the results of these tests, power supply systems and control algorithms were developed and verified in a virtual environment. Next, a laboratory test stand for validating power supply systems and control algorithms was developed and constructed. The tests were aimed at checking all possible situations in which the battery gets discharged as a result of the machine’s ride or operation and when it is charged from the mine’s mains or with energy recovered during braking. Simulations of undesirable situations, such as fluctuations in the supply voltage or charging power limitation, were also carried out at the test stand. Positive test results were obtained. Finally, the power supply systems along with control algorithms were implemented and tested in the produced battery-powered machines during operational trials. The power systems and control algorithms are universal enough to be implemented in two different types of machines. Both machines were specially designed to substitute diesel machines in the conditions of a Polish ore mine. They are the lowest underground battery-powered drilling and bolting rigs with onboard chargers. The machines can also be charged by external fast battery chargers.

The article aims to develop a methodology to ensure timely determination of the margins of static aperiodic stability in power supply systems, at the nodal points of which distributed generation units are installed. The authors used mathematical methods and algorithms based on the application of limiting regime equations. Transitional processes were analysed for various points in the space of controlled mode parameters according to the simulation modelling in Matlab using the Simulink and SimPowerSystems packages. On the basis of the obtained results, an effective technique for analysing stability margins in electrical networks with distributed generation units was implemented. This method is applicable in design problems, as well as in operational and emergency control. The conducted theoretical analysis and computer modelling showed the effectiveness of the proposed methodology for calculating stability margins; the nondegeneracy of the Jacobi matrix of limiting regime equations at the solution point ensures the guaranteed reliability of the results. It was shown that an alternative approach to solving the problem of timely determination of aperiodic stability margins can be implemented on the basis of limiting regime equation with increased nonlinearity. Dynamic modelling of an electrical network with distributed generation units confirmed the correctness of determining the stability margins calculated using limiting regime equations. The developed technique can be recommended for practical use in the design of power supply systems or in operational control of synchronous generators. In particular, the presented methodology can be used to implement a multi-agent emergency control system for distributed generation installations located in generalpurpose distribution electrical networks.
